In the city's east end, Buckingham has kept its small-town character, with its historic centre — Old Buckingham — and the Lièvre River running through it. It's one of Gatineau's most affordable sectors for a single-family home.
With a median age of 47, it's a quiet, well-established community that appeals to retirees, couples and buyers who want more land for their budget.
